It was time for Amethyst to pay her debt, it all started when the three sisters were supposed to go to a cave that the dragon stays in, to see if one of them could bond with the beast. This was to prevent the rise of other dragons thought to be dead for if one of their kind has a connection with a human being they would be unable to rise and wage war. Amethyst was still sceptical, but she figured that everything from before was dealt with. Wéverly and Bèatre on the other hand were up for the challenge. They were not supposed to go directly in front of the beast because after years of potential heirs being killed they finally found a way to get them out of harms way but not entirely. They had to put their hands on a metal door, release energy and pray that they don't get burned; that's pretty simple right?

"Are you ready for this because this could be dangerous?" Wéverly laughed and said, "I should be asking you the same question sister you must be terrified." Maybe she was, or maybe Beatré was just thinking irrationally, either way Amethyst had an awful feeling about today.

Each person went into a separate compartment and Amethyst placed a rock in between the door as a precautionary measure. They placed their hands on the metal and locked it in place by releasing as much energy as possible and they waited for the burn, but it never happened. Amethyst assumed that one of the other two had burnt so she rushed out and ran to the first door on her left. There was no one in there and it didn't seem like anyone was burnt. She rushed to the other door only to see it was sealed and a very angry Beatré was on the brink of drowning. Wéverly was gone and Amethyst didn't know how to open a sealed door with her bare hands.

That is, until it hit her; She had just recently become a product of the impossible and so was Beatré. "I don't have enough energy to break through the door on my own but maybe we use whatever energy we have left to add pressure to it, or if we take out the hinges." Beatré took her hand and went for the hinges while Amethyst tried to destroy the lock. On the count of three the door the last hinge flew off and the lock melted. This gave Amethyst a little time before the water began to rush out at full speed. Amethyst quickly got Bèatre and headed straight for home.

There were a few people who looked on in horror when they saw two of their queens rushing by in distress, dripping wet and missing a sister. Some servants carried Bèatre to the healers. Eleanor, the commander for Neptan rushed over to Amethyst "Your majesty this is not a good start. What happened?"

"Commander how many people do you have on call." He looked concerned and confused "your majesty?"

"Muhzil told us that this was a tradition and it had to be done to prevent the rise of dragons and." A soldier of Phantasma wearing the suit of a commander approached the two. "As of two hours ago commander Eden was found dead along with her expected successor. I am her replacement. Commander Silas at your service Milady."

Eleanor quickly got back to the conversation they were having before "Your majesty there is no such thing as the rise of dragons and the records explaining the ascension to the throne have been in your study since morning."

Amethyst was absolutely angry "Do those records happen to have information about a certain place one may go to and they are locked in a chamber with a metal door that when sealed the person inside is left to drown?" He nodded and Silas gasped "That's the decommissioned execution chamber."

"Silas get the priestess of Kittron by any means necessary, use force if you have to and if anyone objects take them too."

Guards went to go look for Muhzil and Amethyst went to tell Bèatre she plans to publicly execute the priestess. She waited by Beatré's bed until she woke up with a laugh "Did you miss me that much sister?" Amethyst rolled her eyes, there she was having a rough day and Beatré was having what could have been her last day but she woke up with a good attitude, there could also be the chance that she hit her head while drowning.

"There is no time for jokes sister an act of treason has taken place and I want to do a public execution so I ran it by you." Beatré sat up and looked Amethyst dead in the eye "What did Wéverly say about it and why do you want a public execution for this act of treason?" She missed quite alot so it had to be explained but to explain something one must actually know what it is she wishes to explain. Amethyst only knew that their sister was missing and Muhzil sent them to die. Bèatre was beyond furious she got up, got dressed and called out to a servant to inform the people of the execution. She also added that in each home an adult should stay home with the children but everyone else must be present.

They were suited in armour that looked like formal wear. Amethyst had the perfect idea for Muhzil's death and Bèatre seemed satisfied with it. The pair went to the newly built cells. Amethyst's eyes held a certain spark in it. "I want to call this method of execution Ouija I hear it means good luck." Silas had gathered a few people and they were being sorted through when Amethyst started a conversation with Bèatre "Call it whatever you want Áxios just make sure it is done." They went over to the remaining detainees on the platform and Bèatre began to talk "Ladies and gentlemen we have an issue that we will be solving tonight, no more will we pretend as if wolves do not live amongst the sheep!!" You could have never guessed that she was near death earlier on today because she only showed strength "This execution serves as a symbol of the of the beginning of our hunt!" And after that it was Amethyst's turn to talk "The sheep will be safe but the wolves will be skinned alive but alas there is a chance for their survival. At the final cry of our symbol of hunting traitors must either beg for forgiveness or flee. But at the rise of the first moon, we will hunt for wolves and if we find a wolf on the run they will lose their feet."

The crowd looked scared but they were just getting started Amethyst motioned for the guards to bring out Muhzil and tie her to the stake. " Many moons ago A burning village started a new era for Trithia. TODAY WE BURN AN IDEA! This time there is no chance for innocents to suffer."

Amethyst took over from Beatré

"We present to you Muhzil, one of the most trusted advisors of the royal family and the reason for this hunt. Here we have a wolf in the clothes of a sheep, the woman who sent Wéverly, Beatré and I to our deaths this morning, that is why this death will be fitting. Any last words!?" Muhzil looked at the crowd and smiled "My queen will not let me die she is already ahead of this war to come thus I will not die." She started to laugh and Bèatre walked off the platform and went to where the crowd was standing and yelled "Ouija!! Send her your love!" Muhzil looked up and saw Amethyst's eyes change to red and she immediately wet herself and started begging for mercy Bèatre laughed and said, "Where art thou backbone?" Amethyst also laughed "Where art thou confidence? They must have left through her bladder Beatré." With that Amethyst spit out fire at her, not enough to instantly kill her but enough for her to feel it. "TODAY WE BECOME THE THRITIAN CLAN!"

The people looked on in horror and for a short second even Amethyst and Beatré looked terrified but they are not allowed that luxury. People only began to leave at Muhzil's last scream but Beatré and Amethyst watched with satisfaction as she was completely turned to ashes.

"Áxios we are a Ferox down how do we address that."

" We will use the hunt to carry out a search party people will not have the capabilities to worry about all the issues of our land."
